A book or some magazines you like to help pass time. Comfortable clothes to wear home - particularly on the bottom.

You may wanna check on the heating pad. If its electric, then the hospital technically isn't allowed to let you plug it in unless its been cleared by biomed. However, not all nurses follow that rule and may let u use it anyways...

Earplugs if you have them. But the hospital did provide them. (The stupid machines beeped all night and I couldn't sleep.). And easy shoes to slip on to walk in.

I packed books and magazines to help occupy my time -- didn't touch them once; I was almost too tired to keep my head up the entire time I was in the hospital.

If you're going to be in for more than a day (I was there for three days, but I know a lot of processes are different), bring a change of pajamas and a robe. It will feel SO nice to get out of a hospital gown, into your own clothes, and covered up.

Honestly the only thing I used that I packed was a hair tie and my cell phone. My time was spent sleeping, walking, or peeping. I brought Chapstick that helped a lot, I'm not sure about lip gloss.

I brought stuff to take a shower my first day postop, but my surgeon said no showering until this morning (I came home yesterday). I brought my hairbrush, a hair tie, and the face wash & moisturizer. And a pen to keep track of how many 1-oz cups I drank.

I did travel for mine, so I had a few extra things but still only used the comfortable clothing, chapstick, and heating pad. Everything was provided . Oh and I had my cell phone and charger which was brought for entertainment purposes (i.e. books, magazines, etc.). With travel, I was gone 4.5 days.
